And be sure to read more than just left-wing websites like Huffpost that ignore recent studies like this I mean, if you read the study they address this and hedge their bets. I don't recall ever basing anything on callbacks, though. Guess what, I also don't support ban the box initiatives or whatever else bakari sellers or van jones is selling on CNN. --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. |

| Balrog0 10/12/17 2:18:16 PM #34 | pls posted... I looked at the first link and it's a bit disturbing that they consider "racial equity" to mean "equitable outcomes" rather than equitable opportunities. It makes that BLM article I shared seem much more real. where do they say that? the closest I saw was: At CSI, we define racial equity as both an outcome and a process. As an outcome, we achieve racial equity when race no longer determines ones socioeconomic outcomes; when everyone has what they need to thrive, no matter where they live. As a process, we apply racial equity when those most impacted by structural racial inequity are meaningfully involved in the creation and implementation of the institutional policies and practices that impact their lives. When we achieve racial equity: People, including people of color, are owners, planners, and decision-makers in the systems that govern their lives. We acknowledge and account for past and current inequities, and provide all people, particularly those most impacted by racial inequities, the infrastructure needed to thrive. Everyone benefits from a more just, equitable system. pls posted... I'm not convinced that anyone really wants just that. It's just a precursor to making large and expansive demands in the name of "racial equity." like what kind of demands? --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. |

| Balrog0 10/12/17 2:14:26 PM #26 | Santorin posted... Not asking for that. I mean, from your OP it isn't clear that you're asking for CEmen to give their opinions specifically. The reason it is useful to post articles and websites is that there are many answers to what "racial inequality" means, there are many issues rather than one or two specific policies, and often what is required of white people is more or less just to acknowledge there are barriers that black and brown people face in many social spheres that white people don't, so doing some background research is a good place to start. --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. |

I have not seen this, but I think it's reasonable to see the guy who used to do songs about murdering his wife and not hold him up as the new hero for rapping against the president. I can see that perspective do you think liberals feel especially empowered to tackle this because he's white? even as recently as this year Killer Mike is rapping lyrics like, "To hell with what your mouth say, show me what that mouth do" about women but I don't recall his lyrics being a flash point issue during the primary or after. of course I could have missed it, maybe it just didn't penetrate my bubble --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. |

| Balrog0 10/12/17 1:58:51 PM #4 | epik_fail1 posted... Well...I recently only hear Trumpist being TRIGGERED by modern Eminem. that's what I'm talking about tho Y'all bout to use the quilt passed down from your great great granny to make Eminem a liberation jumpsuit so he can keynote every Juneteenth celebration via skype? #imhatin So Eminem now gets automatic honorable mention at the Greater Mt. Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church Bi-annual Sweet Potato Pie Contest and The Tri-State Mary McLeod Bethune Missionary Society Book Club Honors Ceremony? #imoverherehatin! Be careful my left minded friends. An enemy of our enemy is not always our friend. If you think Eminem is the first, loudest, or best voice against Trump you haven't been paying attention. By extolling him you encourage this idea that a white male voice is the only thing that makes a difference. I encourage you to show as much support when the quiet voices call out for help. "Black artists are rarely celebrated this way. When black creatives and public figures are not political in their work, they are often considered disengaged from the real issues plaguing their communities, if not money-hungry and negligent sellouts altogether. When they do speak out, they are marked as divisive shit-starters by conservatives and whites who'd rather go about their regularly scheduled lives than to consider the day-to-day struggles another group of people experiences. Beyonce's 2016 Super Bowl performance was unfairly labeled as anti-police. YG's "FDT" received threats from the Secret Service. Kendrick Lamar's 2015 BET Awards performance was interpreted as hateful as well. There is no win-win situation for blacks on this front. In 2017, if outspoken blacks have big enough platforms, they may even get an unfavorable tweet from the President." So it seems that Eminem calls out Trump in a freestyle rap and the heavens opened and the angels sang for the slam he dumped on Trump. Yeah? Nah! Eminem calling out Trump, is like Jack the Ripper calling out Jeffrey Dahmer. He's made his entire career on being a homophobe, ultra-misogynist, promotes violence against women, etc. Plus, I really thought that overall, his freestyle on this one, was weak. #NoPass --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. |
